The Gamecube homebrew software Swiss has had another long list of updates! Any Swiss user booting from SD should definitely upgrade, but any DVDr user should check the update list below and see if the changes effect them.
To be honest, I always just upgrade – There’s always so many amazing improvements, I don’t even question the changes, I just skim the update list for specific features I might want to test out, then update my SD card. Also, if you’re running DVDr’s, you might consider an Action Replay and SD reader, as they’re a really efficent and mod-free way to boot Swiss, GBi and other software.
